Gymnastics instilled the love of exercise in me, but also determination and perseverance. I am passionate about creating the best environment for our children to grow. As a Mum we want to give our children the best start in life by choosing activities that will shape their future.
I have coached in Stortford Schools since 2007. I still work with teachers to improve curriculum gymnastics and have taught thousands of local children! My daughter Beth, has competed in gymnastics, trampolining, cheerleading and diving! So I have lived for many years in my customers' shoes and know about excellent customer service
I joined the club in 2016 as Pre-School Manager and was promoted to Club Manager in 2021. I have two children and it was while watching my youngest in his Pre-School classes that I decided to change career, re-train and, well the rest is history! I'm looking forward to developing your little ones through play, and ensuring they gain confidence with new skills along the way.
I am responsible for training the coaches and I design the lesson plans allowing gymnasts to have fun and achieve. I competed as an Elite Gymnast in my childhood and subsequently qualified as a High Performance Women's Coach. I have mentored many coaches and coached hundreds of gymnasts to achieve their best, from entry level to national elite status.
I am a Level 2 Women’s and Pre-School Coach with over a decade of experience. I pride myself in getting the best from my gymnasts; I greatly enjoy seeing them succeed and have been involved in developing young talent in previous roles. My other passion, is fitness and as a PT, Nutritional Advisor & Sports Massage Therapist I am able to pass on vital knowledge to help participants excel.
I joined Stortford Gymnastics in January 2017. I am a Level 2 Club Coach and a Level 1 Pre-School Coach. I decided to become a coach after years of being in the sport as an Elite Gymnast (British champion at the age of 9). I have been a coach for many years but I stopped when I had a family. I love being part of a team that develops children's gymnastic ability, social skills, and confidence.
I joined the team in 2019 and have been involved in gymnastics since 5. Â My son has inherited my love for the sport. I am a L3 Coach in Trampolining & Disabilities, and also qualified in Preschool, Freestyle, Recreational Gymnastics and Fitness. Â Little known fact, I have represented Essex in Hockey & Trampolining.
My love for gymnastics and dance began when I was 3 years old and has continued to this day. Once I stopped training, I qualified as a coach aged 15 years and went on to gain more gymnastics qualifications at a higher level in Woman's Artistic and Preschool Gymnastics. I continued to dance professionally until I became a Mum and along the way got both a diploma and degree in dance. I have danced every style you can think of and my favourite is tap. I'm now a Mum of two, but have never stopped coaching.
I discovered my love for the sport through my daughter; an Elite Trampolinist. After many years in the health & fitness industry, I was inspired to start coaching by my good friend Karen. I completed my Level 1 qualification in 2017. I continue to  develop as a Coach within the club and I strive to encourage the children to achieve their best potential whilst having fun in a safe and caring environment.
I am a L3 trampolining coach and have been coaching since 1999. I have coached recreational and competitive trampolinists at Loughton Flyers Trampolining Club and Apex (Harlow) Trampoling Club. I am also a Special Needs coach and qualified in Rebound Therapy and I am a County Level Judge, judging at club, regional and national trampolining competitions.
I competed in gymnastics my entire childhood & teens. I owe my drive & sportsmanship to my coaches. Since enrolling my daughter in pre-school classes, gymnastics has (again) set fire through my veins! I have been given a great opportunity to coach at SG and if I can give your children the confidence the sport gave me, then job well done!
I have been part of the team since 2017. I have danced since I was 3 and have competed nationally. Through dancing I discovered acrobatics and then gymnastics. Since joining the club I have gained my Level 2 in Gymnastics & also qualified as a Trampolining coach. Everyone at Stortford Gymnastics is so friendly and there is always a great atmosphere in the gym.
I have been with SG since the club opened; my role is to support the Pre-School Coaches, to settle the children and offer any 'motherly' comfort required (the children may know me as Auntie Tina!). I joined SG because I enjoy working with children and the Pre School classes are so much fun, embracing & acting out the weekly themes that Niki creates.
I discovered SG when I took my grandson to Leaping Lions. He loved the classes and looked forward to the different activities & theme each week. I was so impressed with the encouraging, caring nature of the coaches so jumped at the opportunity to be part of the team. It's so rewarding helping the new ones to settle in. It also keeps me young, joining in with the theme for the class, pretending to be various animals!
I have been working at Stortford Gymnastics since May 2017 as a Young Leader and qualified as Level 2 qualification in June 2023. Stortford Gymnastics has given me the opportunity to grow and develop as a coach in a supportive environment. Having been passionate about gymnastics since the age of three, and later competing as a gymnast myself, I am eager to share that same sense of fun and excitement with the next generation of gymnasts.
I am Janine’s daughter and Karen’s niece, so I have inherited the love of gymnastics. I competed at the Nationals in 2015, coached by Lucy Swinburne. I have now moved on to cheerleading, trampolining and platform diving. However, I still am involved in coaching and qualified as a L1 coach in Sept 21. There are so many great coaches to learn from at the club so I am very lucky.
I'm a Level 2 Gymnastics Coach, Pre-school and Trampolining Coach.

The coaches here are like family to me and we love nothing more than watching gymnasts grow and enjoy the sport as much as we do!
I am a Level 2 qualified coach in General Gymnastics, Women's Artistic Gymnastics, Trampoline and Freestyle with a huge passion for the sport.

Teaching gymnastics allows me to share my passion for the sport while helping to develop not only their physical skills—such as strength, balance, and coordination—but also important life skills like perseverance, teamwork, and self-belief. I enjoy being part of their progress, whether it’s mastering a basic skill or simply gaining confidence, is what makes coaching so enjoyable for me and rewarding.
